She
She looks down her nose
At the locals in the town square
As she sips tea from her fine china cup
Pinky in the air
Criticising and complaining
Judging one and all
Negativity runs through her veins
Only she matters….all others insignificant...

When Silence SpeaksShe softly smiled across the room.
I imagined the scent of her perfume.
All other sound completely faded.
My heart she had blissfully invaded.
The silent glances between us sought.
Captivating my every illusive thought.
I detected sadness in...

When Silence SpeaksThe devil sleeps in the hearts of men,
When silence speaks no need of pen,
Veiled, a puppet master pulling strings,
Empathy dangling as the devil sings.
Humanity resides in dreams despair,
Hope futile against the growing swell,
Frothing, the raging...

When Silence SpeaksIn the solitude of my mind,
Something deep I find,
In the tranquil of my soul,
There’s a gentle flow.
A door opens to me,
I’m buoyed across the turbulent sea,
I’m embraced by silence,
I’m held by its hand.
As I walk...

Storms Are FierceThey keep on rolling as the incoming, rapid waves splash,
and with them they bring an army of hungry shellfish;
a cemetery of shells pave the long stretch of this beach...

Eye of our soulForm the vessel, heartbeat life,
breath acting as the midwife,
paving way for soul to rise,
bliss drenched, in childlike surprise.

and so hermit, all is well,
when we make within some room,
for our heart...

When Silence SpeaksWhen silence speaks there is no human word
or mouthing from an uncontented tongue.
Yet voiceless cries from hungry eyes are heard,
to those awaiting caring for someone.
The silent sound will echo from the heart
throughout a world now...

Epitaph-Unraveled Words

translating silent stares script air bubbles

sizing you up; he glares as you pass...

Thunderbolts-When Silence Speaks Poetry Contest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deep silences like thunderbolts were hurled
through the soundlessness of my quiet world.
These noises were generated from within
for my ears were not able to take sounds in.
From the noisy world no sound could be heard,
no clashing...

I See TremorsI see tremors…
dancing between the dust,
as the sunlight hits your hands,
they recite their symphony, of silence,
for me…
from a distant land.
